Ah, I see. Thanks for the response.
I have to read up more on these EM things then.
I just found this, which looks like an excellent resource:
http://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/docs/glyphs/
It's not that this page is particularly hard to find; it's just that I
wish
that it had been made more obvious. Perhaps the end of
http://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/docs/tutorial/step2.html
might do good by pointing users there.

Is it correct to say that calling FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes() with some

more than W pixels horizionally on the screen, and H pixels

No.
These specify pixel per em values, not maximum sizes.
If you know that all your glyphs fit in an em-square then your
statement
would be true, but that isn't always the case.
